Fresh Food
When storing fresh food that is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap or
store food in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise
noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of
odors and tastes.
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original
carton to maximize shelf life.
Fruit should be washed and dried, then stored in sealed plastic bags
before storing in the refrigerator.
Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or
containers.
Leafy vegetables should be washed and dried, then stored in
plastic bags or containers.
Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the
refrigerator. This will prevent unnecessary energy use.

packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for
